i've had a couple of requests to ship this... which would likely be prohibitively expensive since i don't have a box for it.

freight would likely run $50-80 depending upon where you are, but getting a box big enough and with a high enough crush test rating would run another $20-70.

i was planning on having it be local only (unless someone was willing to drive a bit of a ways from an adjacent state, i could meet at the edge of the metro towards where you would be coming from) but i will consider shipping it more heavily and tracking down a box if there aren't any takers in the next week or so.
